Ok so when i shoot i like to use jpeg and raw so i can transfer some of my photos to my phone and do Instagram and such. For the creative style i have always done nutural because I use Lightroom for all of my post processing. When I transfer the full sized jpegs to my phone i usually use snapseed or lightroom mobile to do a small amount of work before I post.

I was just wondering what creative style people recommend so there is less work I need to do on my phone. The phone apps are great but they just dont have quite the same cool features as the full lightroom or photoshop.  Also i know this camera can somtimes produce soft images no matter what lesn you use so do the creative styles add sharpening or do you have to put the setting in and how much should I use for an ravager image.

Thank you! for any ones help

Like you I typically shoot jpg and raw. I find jpg's quick and easy for sharing and review but for the keepers, I always post with Capture One and an older version of Photoshop.

 

Kind of hard to give you a definitive answer as the genre of photography I prefer and shoot probably differs from yours. I use an A7II and have no real experience with the 6000 line. I'm going to assume they both have the same Creative Styles.

 

After each shoot I reset my Creative Style to Std. (Standard). Then depending on what I'm about to shoot next, I'll typically use Vivid, Port. (Portrait), Deep, Light or B/W with contrast bumped up +1 or 2.

 

Learning your camera and photography in general takes time and effort, there are no short cuts.

 

As a learning exercise, I respectfully suggest you take the time to shoot the scenes you typically do in each of the Styles and analyze the results. This way you can determine what appeals to your taste and help you choose the best option for getting what you want straight out of the camera.

 

Best of luck with you future shoots,

usually i shoot raw only but i use the Creative Styles to adjust the EVF from the APS-C Body so i have the same image in the EVF as on my calibrated screen with my RAW developer.

 

with the A7 Body this is not such a problem but i found out that 1 setup is useful for the most situation and the jpg is also good on the screen

 

i use the portait setting and bump contrast and sharpening to my need´s

 

what is very important if you shoot jpg is a good white balance adjustment before the shot !

 

if you use the auto WB i think the colors are to cold with the sony body´s so i added the auto WB adjustment e little bit to the warm side A-B: A2, G-M: 0

 

best is to set the WB in every shooting situation manually !

 

i use the spyder CUBE as reference or in situation where  the colors must be very precise (skin tones etc) the colorcheckr 24/48 that works very good

 

i also have a Microfiber cloth that is colored in neutral gray that works great for manually WB setting before the shot,

 

if you have 1 light situation you only need to set WB once

 

if you do manually WB you have much better output RAW and jpg

 

and as KMG said you have to try to find the best setting for your needs 

You can adjust 4 parameters in each creative 

style, and one of the 4 is sharpness. Choosing 

a CS is toadally subjective. No one can tell you 

which one to choose. But, at least you know 

you can boost sharpness for direct jpegs from 

the camera.
